podcast transcript generator

The podcast transcript generator built for what comes next

A transcript is not a side file. It is the source text for show notes, timestamps, newsletters, quotes, and social posts, so Cicadas treats transcript quality as the beginning of the whole podcast production workflow.

Transcript quality is the product, not a checkbox

If the transcript misses names, terms, or speakers, every draft after it inherits the cleanup work.

Cicadas is built for professional podcast episodes where the names, claims, and sequence matter. The cleaner the transcript, the stronger the content kit that follows.

Names and terms

Keep guest names, product names, and show-specific language readable before you turn the transcript into publishable assets.

Speaker-labeled review

Review who said what before the transcript feeds show notes, quotes, newsletters, and social drafts.

Production foundation

Use the transcript as source material for the rest of the podcast production workflow, not as a throwaway export.

Fix and export in your workflow

Transcript editing and export should fit the production system you already use.

  • Review and fix transcript text before it feeds the content kit.
  • Use speaker labels and timestamps as production context.
  • Export formats: TXT, SRT, VTT, and PDF.

From transcript to a full content kit

One clean transcript becomes the base layer for every asset you need to ship the episode.

From one recording, Cicadas can produce show notes, timestamps, newsletter copy, quotes, and social posts in your voice.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How accurate are the transcripts?

Accuracy depends on audio quality, speakers, and source material. Cicadas focuses on giving you a clean transcript you can review and fix before it becomes the source for the rest of your content kit.

Does it label speakers?

Cicadas tries to label speakers automatically, then asks you to confirm or edit those labels before generating AI content from the transcript.

What export formats are supported?

Cicadas supports TXT, SRT, VTT, and PDF transcript exports.

Can I edit the transcript?

Yes. The page is written around reviewing and fixing transcript text before it feeds the content kit.

Is my audio kept private?

This page keeps privacy guidance intentionally minimal while detailed data-handling language is finalized. If privacy requirements are part of your workflow, contact us before uploading sensitive audio.
